Lupe Fiasco - Streets On Fire + Lyrics

Lupe Fiasco - Streets On Fire

Death is on the tip of her tongue and dangers at the tip of her fingers
Streets
Are
On
Fire
To-
Night

Death is on the tip of her tongue and dangers at the tip of her fingers
Streets
Are
On
Fire
To-
Night

[Verse 1: Lupe]
Disease the virus is spreading in all directions
No safe zone no cure and no protection
No symptoms to find or signs of an infection
No vaccines remedies and no corrections
Quarantines the dreams and cut off our connections
Don't let em in not a friend not a reflection
Everybody's got it and want you to have it next and
Don't accept em if you wanna stay as an exception
No pill
Can heal
The ill of this
Sickness some are still in doubt of it's existence
Some call it forgiveness and some call it the vengeance
Some say it's an exit and some say it's an entrance
The poor say the rich have the cure
The rich say the poor are the source
Revolutionaries say it's psychological war
Invented by the press
Just to have something to report
Some say the first case came from a maternity ward
Some say a morgue, some say the skies, some say the floor
Whores say the nuns, nuns say the whores
And everybody is sure

The scientists said it only infects the mind
The little boy said it only infects the girls
The Preacher man said it's gonna kill off the soul
A bum said it's gonna kill the whole wide world

[Chorus: Matthew]
Death is on the tip of her tongue and dangers at the tip of her fingers
Streets
Are
On
Fire
To-
Night

Death is on the tip of her tongue and dangers at the tip of her fingers
Streets
Are
On
Fire
To-
Night

[Verse 2: Lupe]
Believe some say the neon signs
Might allow speakers repeating
And everything is fine
A subtle silence
Could demolish the troubled conscious
Of a compass with no knowledge
And every freedom denied
Every dream is designed and broadcasted
From the masters to the masses
From the antennas on top of the trine
As far as the receiving planet during a panic is shorted
It reports back everything in your mind
Everything is lying
Everything is dying
Everything is a rule
And everything is a crime
Everything was healed
And everything rewinds
And new weather burn a feathers off everything's line

[Matthew]
And she likes it
And she loves it

[Lupe]
The savage
The madness
The bad shit
The lavish
The fastness
To clashes the ashes
To ashes everything in to twine
My femme fatale my darling fongoling angel
Once caught her changing her batteries in her halo
Receipt for her wings and everything that she paid for
And the address to the factory where they made those

The scientist says she all inside mind
The little boy said "What happened to all the girls?"
The preacher man says she gonna kill off the souls
The dope boy said it's the whole wide world

[Chorus: Matthew]
Death is on the tip of her tongue and dangers at the tip of her fingers
Streets
Are
On
Fire
To-
Night

Death is on the tip of her tongue and dangers at the tip of her fingers
Streets
Are
On
Fire
To-
Night

[xXthabeastXx]

lupe is awsome

[gvilleboy352]

that's not lupe in the beginning. it's mathew santos singing.

[VVicklow]

Lupe Fiasco is AMAZING <3

[burntgrilledcheeze]

his next album is 3 cds an 40 songs an then hes retiring to make childrens books

[lawrenceward]

this is wat he is saying

The stars are alive, and the path is colliding

the plan is arriving, and she's out there smiling

the fear is upon us, the skies tried to warn us

their perils are goners, no children to mourn us

it's driving me crazy this whore is my lady

we've lost all our babies and God is amazing

the tick of the timer, the slip of the rhymer

the pimp and the riser your cross there you'll find her

hey, hey

[GrandTruth0777]

0:00- 0:44 lyrics are missing this segment of the lyrics is crucial to know if we wish to decide what is lupe really eluding to.

[anto143]

;o hes a lyrical god :O is he really quitting btw?:'(

[Quagmire97]

Hes talking about AIDS. The chorus says death is on the tip of her tongue and dangers at the tip of fingers, meaning she will die but she can get more people infected. It shows that along with the NWO psychological war.

[EagleZtoTheGrave]

I don't know... It's definetly about the streets, but this song is TOOO damn deep... At one point I thought I knew, but there are to many subjects in this 4-5 minutes of song... Very haunting as well. If it weren't for Go baby at the end of the CD, I'd still be having nightmares. This man is the illest, and I'd love to see Lil wayne or soulja boy top this... YEAH RIGHT...
